Salmon tacos with mango salsa

By

I made these today and they are amazing! Usually I'm not a fan of salmon in tacos but I've been craving salmon and I thought let's just see what happens. Voila, I am in love with them and I hope you will be too. The sweetness of the mango pairs perfectly with the buttery salmon.

Ingredients

  • mango salsa
  • 4 tablespoons small diced red pepper
  • 2 tablespoon small diced jalapeno (don’t forget to remove the seeds)
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 3 limes juiced
  • 1 cup small to medium diced mango (remove the peel)
  • Seared Salmon
  • 1 pound of Atlantic salmon (skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tacos
  • Seared salmon
  • Mango salsa
  • Cilantro
  • 12 Corn tortillas

Preparation

Step 1

Mango Salsa
In a mixing bowl combine the red bell pepper, green onion and jalapeno together. Squeeze the limejuice over the ingredients and let them marinate for a few minutes. Next add the mango, salt and pepper to the bowl and mix it together.

Seared Salmon
Cut the salmon into 1 1/2 inch strips. Cover the salmon pieces with paprika, salt and pepper. In a nonstick sauté pan add oil and heat the pan. Add the salmon to the pan and cook it 5 minutes on one side and then turn it and cook it another 4 minutes. Set aside.

Tacos
Heat the corn tortillas in a microwave for 15-20 seconds or until they are soft (do this right before serving). Next add the salmon to the tortillas and top it with mango salsa and cilantro.
